Sunan Ibn Majah 761 (Book 4, Hadith 27) #30113
Spitting Etiquette According To The Prophet Muhammad

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad taught us to be mindful of our surroundings and to not spit in front of us or to the right, but rather to the left or under our left foot.

It is narrated from Abu Hurairah and Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri that: The Messenger of Allah saw some sputum on the wall of the mosque. He picked up a stone and scraped it off, then he said, "If anyone of you needs to spit, he should not spit in fro not of him or to his right; let him spit to his right; let him spit to his left or under his left foot".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الْعُثْمَانِيُّ أَبُو مَرْوَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، وَأَبِي، سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ أَنَّهُمَا أَخْبَرَاهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ رَأَى نُخَامَةً فِي جِدَارِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَتَنَاوَلَ حَصَاةً فَحَكَّهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِذَا تَنَخَّمَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلاَ يَتَنَخَّمَنَّ قِبَلَ وَجْهِهِ وَلاَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَلْيَبْزُقْ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ أَوْ تَحْتَ قَدَمِهِ الْيُسْرَى

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad taught us an important lesson about etiquette when he saw some sputum on the wall of a mosque. He showed us that we should be mindful of our surroundings and not spit in front of ourselves or to the right, but rather we should spit either to the left or under our left foot. This hadith teaches us that it is important for Muslims to be aware of their environment and take care not to cause any harm or discomfort for those around them. It also shows how much respect Muslims have for mosques as places where Allah's name is mentioned often, so they must take extra care when inside one.
